FAQs
Although lime is more traditional, you can substitute lemon juice to prevent guacamole from turning brown and to give it an acidic balance in flavor.
Guacamole is best stored in a dish with a piece of plastic wrap or beeswax wrap pressed into the dip. 
Make sure you use lime juice (or lemon juice in a pinch). You will also want to eat it the day you make it (if possible).
You can make it up to 1-2 days in advance, however the longer you wait between making it and serving it will increase the chance of it turning brown. You can also freeze guacamole and use it later.
